Please support your local girls while they learn the 5 skills of the cookie sale. Feel free to ask any girl selling about her goals and what she's learning from the sale.

We will be selling in front of many stores and restaurants starting on Saturday and the sale will end on Feb. 24. Look for cookies at any area Subway, Walmart, HEB, Blake's Steaks, Joanne's, Altitude, Urban Air, Kid to Kid, Lowes Bryan, the Rise @ Northgate, Park West, The Cottages, Cici's Pizza, and Walgreens. Most booths are on the weekends but there will be some at various locations during the week this year.

Decision-Making as she helps decide how her team will spend their cookie money, furthering her Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills that will help her throughout life.3. Money Management as she takes cookie orders, handles customer's money and gains valuable and Practical Life Skills around financial literacy.4.
